Windows 10: Creating Custom Tiles?

I can't seem to locate a program that will allow me to make a custom sized tile with a custom image that will allow me to link a program to the tile.

The program I know of called WinTileR is no longer available and I now don't have any idea of what to do.

Create custom tiles

Custom Tiles, no really, custom "tiles" see pic.


I didn't find a post about this, only about the number and layout of the tiles so I'm sharing what I found.

Pretty easy, you go find some box art or other art you like for your game/app and save it to a folder you've made to store this stuff should you need to redo it later and browse to it in the program in the 150x150 box, after selecting the app in the list (you can manually browse to app not in your start menu too) , hit save and you have custom small and medium tiles that look awesome. (Author says other sizes to be added eventually)

I was confused at first, you only need to select an application target and an image for the 150x150, then hit save. The new tile image will get named automatically and saved in the applications folder, unless you input a custom name before hitting save. You do not need to enter anything into the 75x75 boxes.

 

Maxwell and Pascal "secretly" use tile based rasterization

I suspect this is still not full tile based rendering the way ARM Mali does, keeping lists of geometry primitives per tile in each hierarchy level. This seems only tiling of a rasterization step.
In pipeline after geometry is done, gpu seems to run full pixel shader with full gpu on each first level tile serially from left to right, top to bottom. Second level could be as well done in immediate rasterization mode but coverage pattern using tiny tiles helps with cache hits - remember, maxwell and pascal have multiple levels of cache in their gpu. Tiles must be appropriately sized by driver to ensure best usage of gpu cache.
